Benefits of technology

This patent describes an augmented reality system that uses a physical anchor positioned on an object to create an accurate and realistic display of information on a live view of the object. The system receives the current physical anchor position and creates a model of the object using it. The device then uses this model to display the augmented reality information on the live view with increased accuracy. By constantly updating the model to reflect the physical anchor position, the system can provide a more seamless and realistic experience for users.

Problems solved by technology

One drawback with using these anchors is the limited distance from which an augmented reality device can be located with respect to accuracy.
For example, a distance of more than five meters from may result in an undesired level of accuracy for the augmented reality device to display the augmented reality information in positions on or proximate to the object.
Further, programming anchors into a model for an augmented reality system is time-consuming.

Embodiment Construction

[0032]The illustrative embodiments recognize and take into account one or more different considerations. The illustrative embodiments recognize and take into account that accuracy in positioning augmented reality information displayed on a live view of an aircraft is important in performing operations on the aircraft. For example, the augmented reality information can be displayed on the live view to perform operations such as drilling holes, reworking an inconsistency, applying a sealant, or installing fasteners in the aircraft. In one illustrative example, the augmented reality information can show inconsistencies using visual information tags. These tags can mark the location of the inconsistencies and provide information about the inconsistencies.

[0033]The illustrative embodiments recognize and take into account that, in a dynamic environment, the use of permanent anchors is currently infeasible. Further, the illustrative embodiments recognize and take into account that techniqu...

Abstract

A method, apparatus, and augmented reality system comprising an active portable anchor used by an augmented reality device to display augmented reality information on a live view of an object. The active portable anchor is configured to output a current physical anchor position of the active portable anchor relative to an object.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is related to the following U.S. patent application Ser. No. ______, attorney docket number 18-0348-US-NP, entitled “Augmented Reality System with an Active Portable Anchor,” and filed even date here, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND INFORMATION1. Field[0002]The present disclosure relates generally to an improved augmented reality system and, in particular, to an improved method, apparatus, and system for an augmented reality system with active anchors.2. Background[0003]Augmented reality involves an interactive experience with a real-world environment that is augmented by information from a computer system. The information is displayed on a live view of the real-world environment seen through an augmented reality device. The information is displayed on the live view in a manner that provides descriptions or indicators about objects in the live view to a user. This information is also re...
